INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - The Indiana Department of Transportation released plans Tuesday to close portions of I-65 in Indianapolis beginning July 1st.

Southbound Interstate 65 between the I-65/I-465 interchange on the northwest side of Indianapolis will be closed. During the closure, I-65 southbound traffic on the northwest side will be detoured via I-465 South or I-865 East.

The project will also close both directions of I-65 between Meridian St. (exit 113) and 21st St. (exit 115) in downtown. The entrance and exit ramps at the Dr. Martin Luther King St.//West St. interchange (exit 114) will also be closed.

The entrance ramp from 21st St. to northbound I-65 will remain open.

INDOT says the closure is necessary to rehab seven bridges along the stretch of I-65.

The project is expected to be completed and opened to traffic on August 5th.
